I developed this recipe to liven up the traditional pumpkin bar. My family says it's the best pumpkin bar they've ever had. This bar is dense and moist.

Time 2h

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
4 eggs
1 ⅔ cups white sugar
1 cup canola oil
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
2 cups shredded carrots
1 cup crushed pineapple
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
6 tablespoons butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ½ cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10x15 inch baking dish. Whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice in a bowl.
  • Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl. Whisk in the white sugar, canola oil, and pumpkin puree until no lumps of pumpkin puree remain. Stir in the carrots and pineapple, then fold in the flour mixture until no lumps of flour remain. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
  • While the pumpkin bars are cooling, beat the cream cheese, butter, vanilla extract, and confectioners' sugar together in a bowl until smooth. Frost the cooled bars with the cream cheese frosting.

These were a bit too spicy for my taste. I would reduce the amount of cinnamon and nutmeg next time.

I found these bars to be a bit dry. I would add more moisture next time, perhaps by adding some sour cream or yogurt to the batter.

These were a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.
